Quote by Leo Tolstoy
English (Source)
It's amazing how blind materialists are. I have five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch. Good. The world is conditioned by this fundamental sense of touch, common to all men and all beings. Good. I, as a human, test the sense of sight, hearing..., but that's not all, can I ask myself what I feel now by sight, touch, smell or taste? In addition, they can test the sense itself in the consciousness of that sense, that is, they can transfer consciousness to one sense or another. Moreover, I think, may I ask myself, what am I thinking? Who is it that has the conscience and asks? It is not a sense and it is not an idea, it is the consciousness of life. But may I ask what is consciousness? And to have the conscience of conscience? Not. Therefore this is the basis of what we call life. And what is life? What we call life, although related to what presents itself to us as the body, cannot in any way be explained in bodily terms.
